The 2021 Men's EuroHockey Championship was the 18th edition of the Men's EuroHockey Championship, the biennial international men's field hockey championship of Europe organised by the European Hockey Federation.

The tournament was held alongside the women's tournament at the Wagener Stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands and was originally scheduled to take place from 20 to 29 August 2021.[1][2] However, following the postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics to July and August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic the tournament was rescheduled and took place from 4 to 13 June 2021.[3]

The top five teams qualified for the 2023 FIH Hockey World Cup.[4] The hosts Netherlands won the tournament for the sixth time, beating Germany in a 4–1 penalty shoot out after a 2–2 tie. The previous title holders Belgium won the bronze medal, defeating England with 3–2.[5]

Along the hosts, the Netherlands, the top 5 teams at the 2019 EuroHockey Championship, which was held in Antwerp from 16 to 24 August, and the top 2 teams from the 2019 EuroHockey Championships II qualified.[1] The numbers in brackets are the pre-tournament world rankings of when the draw was made.[6]
